Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2

Some electrical tape over the LED should fix that however but just keep that in mind if you're going to purchase this module. Another review that stuc...

I'm a photographer and an engineer, so I would rate this as OK, but not very well executed. It seems like maybe it was rushed to market. Here are my quick findings as of June 27, 2016. I am using the camera via Python scripts and the PiCamera module: 1. There is a focus issue. The focus seems to be ...

Installs easily, but there seems to be no way to turn the image from sideways to upright, and no documentation. I'll bet there's a way, but who knows. . .

Update: Added a few pictures. One is a newer Foscam 1080p camera, one a Foscam 720p camera and one this new 8MP camera for the Pi. The Pi camera does in fact seem to generally be a little blurry, in my opinion. I hadn't noticed it before others mentioned it but you can see how the wood eve along the...

I have three 5MP Raspberry Pi (V1) cameras running indoors 24/7 as part of an ongoing experimental home security system. All of my cameras are set to view an area typically 20 feet or less.I am very familiar with setting up and tweaking the cameras to get the most out of the inexpensive devices. I b...

[Update: May 10, 2016] After reading several stories of success, I used a razor blade to remove some glue holding the lens in place, and refocused the lens with my fingernails. After some minutes of focusing and going back and forth, I was able to drastically improve the camera's focus on distant ob...

The camera module works well, but I had to go searching for information on the proper orientation of the ribbon cable when connecting to a Raspberry Pi (3B+ in my case). What I was unaware of was that the connector on the Pi side had a lift-up latch which then needs to be pushed back down to lock th...

Product seems okay, was able to manually focus the lens with the included tool. The pink box it arrived in was crushed so I was afraid the unit would be damaged, but it was not. Proved a good fit for my Pi foundation pi zero case and I was still able to adjust the lens focus after installation. Incl...

I ordered this camera June 10 for an OctoPrint Install, then went on vacation. I didn't have all the components to install until 7/15, but return window closed on 7/10. Install on 7/15 went good. I kept the plastic film on the lens while I tested connections and printed a case for it. I got one succ...

I purchased this camera late February, and can report that it is not the infinity focus version. While the camera quality is great and works well, it required tweaking and adjusting to focus correctly on my 3D prints. I printed a focus tool, and was able to turn the lens until it was able to clearly...
